Atom Bomb: Glenn Barber [Recorded 1955]

They're buildin' an atom bomb

Gonna blow me out of this place

They're buildin' a bigger bomb

What a crazy human race

Let 'em kill us all and we'll stand and watch

Well, brother that ain't for me

I'll be runnin'; and a-jumpin and a-skippin' and a-bumpin'

When they blow me to smithereens

Now, I'm not a man that's a-scared of things

Least things I knows about

But when my tater patch left the ground

I started right then gettin' out

I figured it was time for all good men

To rise up and really shine

And I'll bet you anyone who saw me leave

Gonna say I sure did fine

They're buildin' an atom bomb

Gonna really cook our goose

They're buildin', a bigger bomb

Done turn the little one loose

I'll never get out of this world alive

But brother I can plain sure try

I'll be runnin'; and a-jumpin and a-skippin' and a-bumpin'

When the first big smoke goes by

Now, fellers, I fought in World War I

And that was quite a brawl

And old number 2 that was really bad

'Cause that we all recall

I'm wishin' for a way to the moon and soon

'Fore this next one starts

I want to get up there all in one piece

And not just part-by-part

They're buildin' an atom bomb

Gonna blow me out of this place

They're buildin' a bigger bomb

What a crazy human race

Let 'em kill us all and we'll stand and watch

Well, brother that ain't for me

I'll be runnin'; and a-jumpin and a-skippin' and a-bumpin'

When they blow me to smithereens

Now the place for me is up in them hills

In a cave way back in the rocks

When that thing goes off I'll get the char,

But none of the real bad shocks

With a trusty gun and a can of beans

And an old hound dog or two

If there's anybody left it's gonna be me

When all of this mess is through

They're buildin' an atom bomb

Gonna really cook our goose

They're buildin' a bigger bomb

Done turn the little one loose

I'll never get out of this world alive

But brother I can plain sure try

I'll be runnin'; and a-jumpin and a-skippin' and a-bumpin'

When the first big smoke goes by

Now you think I'm lying but it ain't no joke

'Cause I used to live real close

A flash of light made in the dead of night

Nearly scared me out of my clothes

My old hound dog went raving mad

And was deaf for a week or two

When we quit runnin' he was pret' near dead

But we figured that was the thing to do

They're buildin' an atom bomb

Gonna blow me out of this place

They're buildin' a bigger bomb

What a crazy human race

Let 'em kill us all and we'll stand and watch

Well, brother that ain't for me

I'll be runnin'; and a-jumpin and a-skippin' and a-bumpin'

When they blow me to smithereens

Yeah! No! Did you ever of such a noise? Yeah...
